Controller > search for word or part of word

 

All lists allow you to search for a word or part of one, or a number. The search operates on the current column of data, though you can change the choice as in this screenshot.

 

search without replace

The syntax is as in Concord. As the example shows, sound* has located the word sounds within a concordance and shows some of its context. To find again, press OK again....

 

Whole word or bung in an asterisk

The syntax is as in Concord, so by default a whole word search. To search for a suffix or prefix, use the asterisk. Thus *ed will find any entry ending in ed; un* will find any entry starting with un. *book* will find any entry with book in it (book, textbook, booked.)

 

Word lists can be sorted by suffix: see WordList sorting.
